My Ride

Just back after a bit of Yamaha Therapy .Its a stock XJ900,with a Motad 4into 1,ive done the cam chain, new exhaust, usual filters plugs etc,replaced the non stock indicators fitted to the rear mudguard,welded the rear frame member under the seat(that gave up when i only had the bike a week 8O ) fitted matched tyres,repainted the belly pan into its correct colours from all blue,polished engine casings and footrest hangers,new battery leads.The list of things to do is getting smaller,new rear disc, new shocks,stainless steel brake lines,master cylinder repair kits front and back,powder coat swingarm,and anything else a 20 year old piece of machinery will throw at you.
Anyhow just a thankyou to the Great and Good on this Forum, its good to Know there are like minded members willing to help regardless of how small or obscure a problem you have, and have probaly been there and done that.

nice looking scoot, there Simon.

 

Very,very sweet!
If you ever want to trade for little xj700 (lol) just
pm me!

 

is that front fender mangled or am I seeing something? too bad, cuz the rest is so pretty!

 

To me it looks like a riveted extension, dirt and a reflection of the engine cowl... but thats just me.....

 

Nice looking ride you got there.

 

Oh yes,it is a mangled fender courtesy of PO's,it had a nasty rubber mudflap on it,so i put a Fenda extenda on to tidy up,.im watching one on E-Bay right now which is supposed to be better.

 

Very nice. Good job!

 

New Fender/Mudguard from E-bay £15 all in.Crappy Shocks will go next,All Chrome or Black /Chrome? cant decide right now..those two overflowing carbs are really P*****G me off.

 

Oh yeah carbs cleaned, clunked, and balanced ,petrol tap repair kit(hours of fun with that),made one good instrument cluster out of two,frame repainted pending powder coat,all the oddball nut and bolts replaced.
